Polling for PDRI
Polling is a highly effective technique to increase engagement and buy-in while scoring PDRI elements. Traditionally, 'clickers' (in-person Assessment) and third-party web-based polling tools have been used. With polling fully integrated into Carve, PDRI Facilitators will have an easy-to-use, efficient method of conducting polls with all participants. Polling can be used in virtual, hybrid, and in-person assessments.
Facilitator/Scribe
In facilitation view, users will see a polling icon to the right of the element score bar.
Click on the polling icon from an element within facilitation view to use the polling feature. From here:
- Copy and paste the polling link to assessment participants. This can be sent by email or other meeting chats. This link will be the same for each element poll, so participants will only need one link for the whole assessment.
- Watch the number of responses increase as participants enter their answer.
- Once sufficient responses have been received, click Show to display the results.
- Click Clear to clear the results.
- Click Close to return to the element scoring window
The final score for the element needs to be entered by the facilitator/scribe on the element scoring window. (The poll results do not translate to an element score automatically).
PDRI Assessment Participants
Participants can access the poll through the poll link or the QR code. The QR code works allows participants to easily open the poll on their mobile device. Participants can then enter their vote by clicking on the selected score. Their selection will display to them in dark blue.
Participants do not require a log-in to Carve to participate in a poll, the link will open in a web browser on their computer, laptop or mobile phone.
The URL/link for the poll is the same for the entire assessment. If participants leave their polling window open, the screen will automatically refresh when the poll is closed and re-opened.
